#Beltane #MayDay
A photograph through young beech leaves, just beginning to darken from their first bright green flush, towards a dry valley full of hawthorn trees in full blossom. The blossom is white, and so are the clouds above, with a bright turquoise sky at the top
#Beltain fires have been lit, and NOW the may blossom is out
The climax of the #Beltain festival @butserancientfarm.co.uk with the burning of the Roman gladiator. 1000 hours of team work, burnt in less than 30 minutes.
A long day, enjoyed by all.
Large wicker figure in the shape of a Roman gladiator with trident, net and enclosed helmet
The wickerman in the distance seen over a crowd of people. One leg is of fire, and there are musicians in front playing.
The wickerman fully alight
First #beltain celebration @butserancientfarm.co.uk last night. The most incredible wickerman, in full flames in less than 5 minutes. An amazingly joyful evening 🔥
The family minus Isambard—Spouse to my right is tall and black and is dressed all in black with huge black feather wings and a ribcage design T-shirt, dark glasses and white stripes makeup, then centre Rosewind with golden antlers and sickle yellow sunglasses and a general Demeter theme and then child dressed as Persephone in her spring goddess personification with a purple gold and blue silk dress, matching hair and fairy wings and a crown—despite her heels RW is notably shorter than the other two
Persephone ties a wish to the Wicker Man
RW and spouse grinning in one of the amazing houses built in traditional wattle and daub and thatch at Butser Ancient Farm they both wear facepaint and look very happy
Rosewind’s two children stand watching a fire show in the light of the setting sun—they both have looks of utter delight on their faces
We had an absolutely blast!
Thank you for staging such amazing events!
We loved it all—and what a perfect day!

Drs Scott and Fluck, trapped in the leg of a Wicker Man. They came of their own free will.....Oh god! Oh Jesus Christ!
The Wicker Man goes up in flames! A burning effigy, around 20 metres high, of a gladiator

Krásný předvečer beltainu! My hezky v poklidu doma, na ty místní sociální akce moc nejsem 🙈 utvrdila jsem se, že už jsem velká holka, všechno jsem si nachystala a zapálila sama 😂 se asi můžu vdávat 😎
